Books with author Patrick Moy

Excerpt from The Great Push: An Episode of the Great WarI have tried in this book to give, as far as I am allowed, an account of an attack in which I took part. Practically the whole book was writ ten in the scene of action, and the chapter dealing with our night at Les Brebis, prior to the Big 'push, was written in the trench between midnight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
